What is life like as an expat in your area?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Venice is a unique blend of work and leisure, surrounded by the city's rich history and culture. They often live in rented apartments or shared spaces in the city's quieter neighborhoods, away from the tourist crowds. The city offers a variety of coworking spaces with reliable internet, making it easier for them to work remotely. Expat life in Venice is also about immersing oneself in the local culture, learning Italian, and enjoying the city's world-renowned cuisine. The city's public transportation, mainly consisting of vaporettos (water buses), is a unique experience, and walking is also a common way to get around the compact city. Despite being a tourist hotspot, Venice has a close-knit community feel, and expats often find themselves forming strong bonds with locals and other expats. However, the city can be expensive, and the cost of living is something to consider. Venice's rich arts scene, with its numerous galleries, museums, and festivals, provides ample opportunities for leisure and inspiration. The city's proximity to other European destinations also makes it a great base for those who wish to travel and explore. However, Venice's popularity as a tourist destination can also be a downside, with overcrowding during peak seasons. The city is also grappling with issues of flooding and subsidence, which can pose challenges. Despite these, many expats and digital nomads find the city's charm and lifestyle hard to resist," wrote a member who made the move to Venice, Italy.
